Rabbits were put here to cook. They're delicious.

**SNIP**

I think you're losing track of the discussion. You said this:

"Geeez. I'm pretty sure I've never seen a SA hammerless .357 mag. But
there's a lot of pistols I've not seen. If it is hammerless, how do you
cock it?"

OK now? That's what we were responding to. However, to be fair, I ignored
"SA" because it wasn't relevant, compared to "hammerless". Obviously, the
two ideas don't belong together, and "SA" has no relevance to this
discussion.

SA = Single Action, the hammer MUST be cocked for each shot (assuming a
revolver), DA = Double Action it can be fired with a pull of the trigger
only or (if it has a hammer) in SA mode to reduce the trigger pull..

Harrys comment was completely relevant. It is the distinction that makes the
difference.


Harry's comments are *always* relevant!

He used to be totally down on handguns, the NRA, digital cameras, etc.,
until he got his. Now he's an expert on them in addition to his other areas
of expertise.

Oh deer!

Goose dogs are the only way to go.

Or, what they are doing here (NJ), is having an early hunting season, now through the end of the month,
with a heavy bag limit (15 daily). The migratory geese don't appear here until October, so this early
season targets the resident flock. The resident geese are also about twice the weight of the migratory
birds (12 to 20 lbs), so a good day can put a lot of food in the freezer.

I have said for years that the reason is due to 13 round semi-auto
hand guns.

With a revolver, you only have six - makes you concentrate.

The "chief" who taught me to shoot would only give me one round at a
time (1911). He said, think about this shot before you think about the
next one. Shoot every round like it was your last. Anyone who says you
can't hit anything with a .45 never had this guy teach you how to
shoot.

Dad taught me two things. Don't ever touch another mans weapon unless
you are going to fire it. If someone tells you their weapon is not
loaded, leave immediately, they are an idiot and should not be playing
with firearms;) This led to an embarrassing event one Thanksgiving out
on Long Island with the inlaws. Uncle in law, old school sherriff type
is trying to get me to look at (handle) an old german lugar (sp?). I
admire it but won't take it from his hand or take from the counter.
After a couple of times he gives up and puts it away. Sure was a
pretty weapon, guess he probably still thinks I'm, well whatever he
thinks of a longhair that won't "play" with guns;)

Oh deer!

Let the wildlife use any available habitat? Is he crazy? (no need to
answer that one)

Hey, who's crazy. The critter lovers or the guy who thinks he's
growing mashed potatoes?

Dogs don't work. My brother had dogs on the golf course he managed. The

swim fast enough to scare the geese.

You got the wrong trainer. The dog isn't supposed to chase them into
the water.

I work with BCs here in and around golf courses and haven't ever had
that problem.

It's all in how the dogs are trained.

The dogs don't 'chase' them into the water, the friggin' geese get smart
quick and fly into the friggin' water as soon as they see the dog!

There must be some stupid friggin' geese up there!

I saw the Border Collies in action once, and they would swim after the
geese that lit in the water. The geese would take off after the dog
swam a short distance. I guess there's geese and geese, dogs and
dogs.

One of my favorite gun technique books suggests taking only 6
rounds
to the
range, no matter what kind of handgun you're shooting. Good idea.

All my kids were trained that way. In fact, when my youngest went
to
the Academy in SC, he noticed that the more bullets they were
issues,
the more the used them.

He took his time, minimum shots and did well.

It's the revolver training.

I have a 9mm Glock, but I never carry it unless I'm in the woods.
For
just carrying purposes, it's a .357 mag on a .38 frame.

Don't you mean that the other way around? My Highway Patrolman shoots
.38's
but is a .357 magnum frame (and shoots them!).

Nope - just the way I spake it.

Wouldn't a gun with a frame built for .38's be somewhat unsafe with a
bunch
of .357 mags going through it?

What part of this is so hard to understand?

The gun is a .357 mag built on a .38 frame.

Ruger SP101

Hello? Anybody home?

You god damned people will agrue about anything.

I'm outa here for a while.

Morons.

No argument exists. I was simply asking a question. I looked for
information on the Ruger SP101, but could find nothing saying the frame
was
built for .38's.


Look at the top strap, Einstein.


Ah, another name-caller!

Enlighten me, please. I am certainly no expert on pistols. What is a 'top
strap'?

Is there one in this photo?

http://tinyurl.com/lw55

Yes, there is. See the black grip with the silver screw holding it on?
That's actually called the top strap.

Oh deer!
